MollywwA CtWL 4sj4 Baked for YOU Exclusively by Association Hears Of New TB Drug; Mrs. Barteis Speaks , Premature publicity hai raised the hopes of many before ade quate information has been ob tained concerning the new drugs under investigation for the treat ment of tuberculosis, according to Mrs. O. J. Halboth, in report ing a meeting of the Jackson County Public Health associa tion. The reporter referred to a statement issued to the Amer ican Trudeau society, the medi cal section of the National Tu berculosis association. The society reported that some optimism seems justified, she added, but many important ques tions cannot be answered with out further research. The immediate Tesults of treatment in human beings is good, but a much longer period' of treat ment and observation will be necessary before it can be de termined whether or not these drugs can bring about a com plete elimination of tuberculosis germs from the body, the report added. There is no evidence, according to the report, that these drugs decrease the length of hospital treatment necessary and the present shortage of hos pital beds may be, intensified. So far the drugs are not known to have any preventa tive action, and research for a better vaccine is still indicated as a more practical basis for eventual eradication of the dis ease, the report includes. It is estimated that there are at least 150,000 cases of active TB in this country which are not known to the health depart ments. An extension of all case- finding is imperative and must be remembered that other treat ments are showing good results, according to the report. The meeting which Mrs. Hal both reported was the health association's bi-monthly meeting Thursday, at Girls Community club. Mrs. John Cotton,-Ashland, presided. Another report made at the meeting concerned problems of the deaf and hard - of - hearing child, given by Mrs. B. Brandt Barteis. Mrs. Barteis received training at the Central institute in St. Louis after which she taught in the oral department for the deaf in that school for three years. Two methods of teaching the deaf child were compared. If a deaf person is taught only to sign, he is limited in later life to associating with only deaf persons, since most people who hear do not understand sign language. If a deaf child is taught early in life there should be no danger in his being a deaf mute. Mutism is defined as a deformity, injury or disease of the vocal chords and is there fore not necessarily connected with deafness. The primary pur pose in training a deaf person is to help him live normally, the speaker said. Two additional broadcasts in the program sponsored by the Jackson County Public Health association and the Jackson County Medical association, were announced. They are scheduled today at 7:30 p.m., when KMED will present "Hospitals Join Hands," and on Sunday, March 30 at the same time, with the subject "What Doctors Have Or dered." Persons wanting old American TB seals for collections should contact the county health asso ciation,' it was announced. Next meeting of the county health group will be the annual meeting Thursday, May 15. Spokane, Wash. OJ.PJ Fire men who went to someone else's aid wound up needing help them selves. A new fire truck found only a minor blaze at a construc tion site. Then the new truck burst into flames. Another fire crew snuffed out the blaze. Unusual Casual! 1220: 40 NEW!
